Immediately, Shami alerted company CEO Rami Shami and President Shauky Gulamani, and the three developed a plan of action to respond to the catastrophe.

The executives gathered in the company's Houston headquarters to make preparations to send care packages to the soldiers, families and hospitals affected by the horrific attack.

Shami states, "After the devastating rampage, Farouk Systems was ready to send truck loads of care packages to our soldiers and the families in need.

We made contact with the Fort Hood American Red Cross and local hospitals in order to respond accordingly. We are a company of action, and we are doing everything in our power to ensure that our neighbors in Fort Hood are taken care of as they endure the aftermath of this heartbreaking attack."

Farouk Systems, Inc. recently announced the relocation of its manufacturing facilities to Houston, Texas from South Korea and China, moving 1,277 jobs back to America. After the tragic incident at Fort Hood, many of those employees were working diligently to assemble care packages instead of hair tools.

President Shauky Gulamani stated, "We are saddened by the tragedy that occurred and we worked all day to get the necessary items ready to ship." The company has been coordinating its efforts with Fort Hood American Red Cross Director Sharron Gilkey, plus the directors of the Waco, Killeen and Temple chapters.
